Our commitment is to deliver accurate and efficient services, ensuring the success of your projects by providing critical information about the soil conditions below the building site.

Soil Testing

Soil testing is an essential step in construction projects, providing an accurate subsurface profile that assists in making vital design and engineering decisions. Our experienced team offers affordable soil testing services, determining the appropriate footing or foundation design for your construction project. We highly recommend performing a soil test prior to purchasing a block to establish any potential additional costs from poor soil conditions.

Effluent Disposal

Effluent disposal reports are necessary when constructing a new residence, adding building extensions, or dealing with a failing effluent system. Our professionals evaluate the site and soil to ensure effective effluent disposal, preventing potential issues arising from impermeable clay soils or inappropriate design. With our expertise, we ensure your on-site sewage management system complies with council regulations and meets the specific requirements of your property.

Geotechnical Drilling

Geotechnical drilling is a critical aspect of the construction process, providing information about subsurface materials (soil and rock) before a development project begins. Our geotechnical drilling services help make your project a success by offering a range of geotechnical and environmental drilling across the Sunshine Coast. With our expertise, you can confidently proceed with your construction project, knowing you have accurate information about the subsurface conditions.

Why Soil Testing Matters

Soil testing is a crucial step in the construction process, ensuring there are no hidden physical conditions on the site that may damage your house. Reactive soils can easily cause damage if the wrong type of foundations are used for the soil classification type. Soil reactivity refers to how much the soil on the site is likely to move, expand, and contract, typically due to changing moisture content. Soil is graded into classifications depending on its reactivity to certain elements, and identifying the soil grade is essential to selecting the correct foundations for your construction project.
